The controversial musician was among the first-time MPs who participated in parliamentary proceedings for the time on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, after their swearing-in.
However, according to the young man, identified as Felix Appiah, Kwame A Plus slept in the chamber of parliament while parliamentary business was taking place.
In a TikTok post circulating on social media, the Gomoa Central representative was captured in a photo with his eyes closed and his right hand on his head.
It's unclear from the trending picture if the MP was indeed sleeping, but Felix berated and called him a disappointment to the many people who voted for him to adequately represent.
"Go and be sleeping on your first day in parliament. For those of you watching on Facebook, he is sleeping, but guess his slogan wonyɛ busy. Is this how to be busy? Is that the man shouting wonyɛ busy? So, Kwame Asare, you were shouting wonyɛ busy, wonyɛ busy only to go and sleep in parliament." he said.
